UKRI-3575 Integrated Laser Front-End System for the DiPOLE-S Project

Tender description

This document describes the specification for a 100 Hz, 100 mJ-class pulsed laser amplifier system, known from here on as the System (referring to the whole system including ancillary equipment), or the Amplifier (referring to the optical assembly). The System can be composed of multiple amplifier stages to amplify the output from a fibre-based seed source to the specified 100 mJ at 100 Hz pulse rate. The supply of this System is requested by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) to form an integral part of the front-end for a 10 J laser system being built at STFC. This system will be built, tested and operated at Rutherford Appleton Lab (RAL) in the UK. Lot 1: The proposal covers the delivery of all components necessary, including: •Amplifier unit containing all optical components assembled into a single, rigid mechanical unit. Where more than one amplifier stage is used, each amplifier can be assembled into a single, rigid mechanical unit. The amplifier stages and the beam delivery and shaping optics must be mounted on a single breadboard to be subsequently mounted on the client’s optical table. •All supporting systems, such as power supplies, chillers etc., which shall be compatible with mounting in a 19” rack. •All cabling and piping required, lengths 15 m, exact value to be confirmed. •Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) at Supplier site to demonstrate system performance to specification before shipment. •Shipping and installation at Customer site (RAL). •Site Acceptance Test at RAL to demonstrate system performance to specification. •Customer Operator training by a dedicated engineer from Supplier. •All documentation in English.
